It’s either that or a guy dressed in a gorilla suit is roaming the woods in Mission, B.C., in a bid to fool tourists and hawk a mobile app.

Two YouTube videos purporting to show the elusive creature have surfaced in the past 10 days, garnering more than 450,000 views. Both videos were posted by B.C. software development company PlayMobility.

The company issued an open call on Twitter on July 18 for footage of legendary creatures like Sasquatch, the Loch Ness Monster or the Ogopogo, a water serpent said to reside in B.C.’s Okanagan Lake.

The first video, posted on July 18, shows a group of Chinese tourists watching a tall, hairy figure moving around in the forest. The crowd jumps as the creature is heard grunting in the distance.

Someone off camera says “Sasquatch.” The video has been viewed more than 19,000 times.

“Many photos and videos were taken before the large hairy biped ran towards the group then away,” the company writes on its website.

The second video, posted on July 24, provides a faraway, shaky-camera shot of another hairy creature standing upright on top of a hill. This video has been viewed more than 435,000 times since it was posted.

“A couple were hiking on a logging road above one of the lakes in Mission, B.C., when taking photos of the scenic views they spotted something moving,” the company writes.

“Even though they were a fair distance away they were still able to zoom in enough to see something standing upright. Bear? Man? Something else?”

International media outlets have pounced on the videos, with stories about B.C. Bigfoot sightings running in the Daily Mail and The Telegraph.

PlayMobility makes a mobile app called Legend Tracker, a geocaching game that inserts creatures like Bigfoot into real-life settings. The app lets users “search” for Sasquatch in Mission, B.C., using tips and tools they gather along the way.

Humanity’s fascination with Bigfoot endures, despite the fact that no one seems able to capture a clear photo of the beast.

Last month, an Ontario man complained about being harassed by police while he was searching for Bigfoot in thick brush in the Durham Region. Police apparently thought the man was growing pot.

Last August, Tim Marczenko said he was on assignment for the Ontario Wildlife Field Research investigation into numerous reports of Bigfoot-sized tracks in the Township of Brockton.

The site was under police surveillance after nearby residents complained about groups of young men flocking to the forest armed with shovels in weeks past. Three men were later arrested after several marijuana plants were found deep in the woods. Their cover was to tell the locals they were searching for Bigfoot.

Police apprehended Marczenko but released him when they didn’t find any evidence he possessed a controlled substance.

His run-in with police hasn’t put him off his quest to find Bigfoot.

“I could see how some people find it hard to believe,” said Marczenko. “The reports are coming in every week… Someone has to go out and take it seriously.”
